This category is an opportunity for newer paddlers and steers to get more race experience, building up to bigger races throughout the year.

As with the Stengah tradition, overall winners will be based on points collected throughout the season: number of new paddlers participated, challenge points or penalties, participation points, and of course winners’ points.

Rookie Steer Criteria:
– steering for 1-2 years only AND
– never steered an overseas outrigger canoe race

Mixed Crew Criteria:
– Maximum 2 Crews / 12 Members per Club per Race (if a Club only has 1 crew or less than complete 2 crews, then some paddlers will be doing course 2x)
– Minimum 2 Lady-paddlers per Crew
– Maximum 2 Steers (Male OR Female)

*Penalties will be served if any of the criteria above is not met (contested and proven).

Race Format:
– Relay of maximum 12 crew members per Club per Race
